tUnE-yArDs has
been on my Last.fm Recommended Artists list
for a long time, but I have been reluctant to venture out of my music
bubble to find new tunes. After seeing mentions of this artist in various places
and on several best-of-2011 lists, I
finally gave it a listen. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to be
pleasantly surprised! whokill is by far the most interesting and unique album that I have encountered from
2011.
Merrill Garbus’ androgynous vocals combined with layering and
distortion produces an intriguing ‘sound’. This album may not be for everyone,
as it is a bit sporadic, off-beat, and wild at times, but I find its oddity draws
me in. It implants these intriguing, catchy little snippets in my brain. In a way, this album has become an addiction; constantly
plaguing my thoughts with cravings for a specific riff.
All the songs are interesting and most are great, but Gansta is a good place to start.
